The present disclosure provides embodiments of a reinforced porcelain panel product such as for renovations or new construction in buildings. In an embodiment, a reinforced porcelain panel product includes a porcelain slab and a structural core board. The porcelain slab includes a top surface with a first surface area. The structural core board includes a core material having a second surface area and a thickness greater than the porcelain slab. A top surface of the structural core board is positioned in contact with a bottom surface of the porcelain slab with an adhesive. A buffer region is defined by regions of the structural core board extending beyond outer peripheries of the porcelain slab. The buffer region enhances protection from cracking when the reinforced porcelain panel product is installed, handled, transported, or cut. The bottom surface of the structural core board is to be attach to a mounting surface when installed.

A hand-held or table-mounted tool for adhering a flooring edge finish to a flooring edge. The hand-held tool includes a main body, which can include a handle, a base, and a bi-level soleplate, which is heated during application to adhere a flooring edge finish to a flooring edge. The soleplate of the tool can be made of polymer, carbon, metal, ceramic, glass, or a mixture thereof.

A floor board including a decorative surface layer applied to a substrate, where the substrate is optionally MDF or HDF material at a side edge thereof, and at least one side edge together with a side edge opposite thereto forming a first pair of opposite side edges of said substrate. The first pair of opposite side edges includes mechanical first and second coupling parts, respectively, allowing the floor board to be coupled at the respective side edges with a similar floor board. Also, a floor board covering consisting of a plurality of the floor boards and a method for manufacturing such floor boards.

Insulation hatch for attic stairs constructed out of rigid layer (12), protective layer (11) and insulation layer (13) wherein insulation layer (13) is located between rigid layer (12) and protective layer (11) and insulation hatch layers are connected to each other and in protective layer (11) and in insulation layer (13) there is at least one spacer (4) for taking on the load exerted on the insulation hatch, in particular during transport, and the subject-matter of the invention also comprises attic stairs with the said insulation hatch.
